Default Re: UEFA Cup quarters Thu 12/4

Martin Jol has commented that he wanted to beat Seville comprehensively to repay the away fans support and determination. I think we can fully expect an attacking Spurs side who go for every opportunity to hit at Seville. This plays Seville in at either back against the wall or wanting to get an early goal and then shut up shop. Either way the first goal will be KEY to this tie. If Spurs score first then Seville NEED to score and will really push to get that away goal. On the other hand if Seville score first we could see a lot of negativity with them having done almost everything they need to qualify for the next round.

I fail to believe that Spurs won't score, this doesn't happen many times. Against Chelsea they lost with no goals scored but I discount that result due to the overhaul of the starting team with Berbatov, Keane and Lennon all having been dropped to bench or off squad. This was set as the key game and so felt this would be the one that the team would really go for.

I really feel that Seville showed very little that they are a threat to Spurs in the last game. Both goals came from contentious refereeing especially the penalty. If Spurs start like they did the other day the game will be over inside the first half. Only reason I feel coy about calling a prediction is that I'm worried of bias from my side as I'm Spurs fan.

Still I can see O2.5 @ 2 with Betfair

3-1 score seems big odds with Betfair @ 21

So may try 3-1 with Keane fs and 3-1 with Berbatov fs

Also as Spurs need to attack from the off then maybe Spurs/Spurs in HT/FT market. That's available at a largeish 4 with Betfair..

Best of luck people with any bets you take today!!
